My tomato plants are 6' but no tomato?

It may sound a little funny, but my Grandfather's solution to tomato plants having blossoms but not producing fruit was to "shake them up". This entails a vigorous shaking of the bush. Take care though not to pull the plant upward and up-root it.





Good Luck

A fertilizer that is too high in nitrogen will result in lush plants but no fruit. This is often seen when manure is used in the garden. Horse manure is especially high in nitrogen. Manure should always be aged/composted for at least one year before it is applied to the garden.





Also, extreme temperatures will cause blossoms to drop. If it's too hot or too cold they won't pollinate. Not much you can do about that but wait it out.





Another poster recommended shaking the plant - that can also help. It scares the plant and makes it think it has to reproduce quickly before it is killed!
Reply:Could be any number of things -- too much water, too much fertilizer, too much heat. Do they have flowers? If they are suffering from blossom drop, it may be bacause they are not getting fertilized.
Reply:mix some sugar and water and put it to the plant. In the soil not on the plant. I've heard that this will work. Don't ask me why but it is a old home remedy here in the South.





Ha, ha, ha, BobKat is too funny. That may be why another's squash plants aren't doing too well. Perhaps they are too scared!! You crack me up!
